While I agree, it could backfire. These two must think they can win.
These two are lawyers. They know they’ll get publicity and glowing lib press.
I sure don’t see a federal issue because this whole case involved California law and the California state constitution amendment process only.
Also, as of today, right now, federal law defines marriage as 1 man and 1 woman. How could a federal judge somehow overturn Prop. 8 since it defines marriage exactly the same way as the federal government does?
Are they looking to overturn federal marriage law with this case? I’m no attorney, but it seems to me there could be a case if federal law and state law were in conflict on the marriage question. But since the federal and state laws agree, where’s the basis for a lawsuit?
I know liberal judges can do anything. I just can’t believe they have a federal case. Unless the “fix” is in.
Michigan banned queer marriage and queer partnerships, anything similar, and benefits for queer partners.
That law was ruled OK.
